Sir Alex Ferguson Retires

8 May 2013

“The decision to retire is one that I have thought a great deal about. It is the right time,” Ferguson said.

His statement makes reference to the strength & quality of the squad, the training facilities and the stadium:

“It was important to me to leave an organisation in the strongest possible shape and I believe I have done so.”

I can’t remember a time when so many top-line managers moved about. Pep Guardiola moved from Barca to Bayern (replacing Jupp Heynckes), Mourinho is seemingly on his way out at Madrid, David Moyes is yet to sign a new contract at Everton — all are potential replacements for Ferguson.

My money would be on either Mourinho or Klopp.

If pushed, I’d plump for Klopp as I think Mourinho is too emotionally attached to Chelsea, and he’s can’t have failed to notice the slings & arrows that come the manager’s way when taking the reigns at a rival club. Whilst I think the majority of United fans would welcome Mourinho (I certainly would), the Chelsea fans wouldn’t be able to forgive him.
